OrganoTex®

OrganoTex® is a fluorocarbon-free water repellent technology developed with inspiration of the Lotus-flowers 3D-structure. The technology provides functional fabrics with durable protection against water, snow and water-based soiling such as stains from red wine, coffee, ketchup, etc. The water repellency is highly durable and withstands numerous cycles of home laundry.

Below is a table that shows an example fabric of polyester or polyamide and its water repellancy performance.

Sustainability

The OrganoTex® technology is free from fluorocarbons (e.g. PFOS, PFOA, etc) and other accumulative chemicals that negatively affect ecosystems. It is also free from hazardous chemicals, such as isocyanates that may cause respiratory problems. In addition OrganoTex® is readily biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301 C.

Branding

Brand owners that uses fabrics treated with the OrganoTex® technology are offered are offered an attractive co-branding platform that can be used to promote the environmentally friendly characteristics of OrganoTex®-treated textiles to consumers and retailers.

Using nature's own chemistry

The OrganoTex® technology is based on nature's own chemistry, using plant-based catalysts to bind water repellent “fatty” molecules directly to the textile fibers. The plant-based catalysts create a 3D-structured fabric surface of “fatty” molecules, resulting in the OrganoTex® technology´s excellent performance. The 3D-structured fabric surface still feels smooth and its roughness is invisible to the eye, much like the surface of the Lotus flower's leaves.

By mimicking nature we now enter a new era within fiber based materials.
Textiles become water repellent. Wood is made durable and fire resistant.
Paper is made stronger and 3D shaped biocomposites can be produced.
All in a sustainable way in harmony with the nature.
